Modules

Modular & agnostic primitives

The Formance Stack is a suite of financial primitives built on a unified data layer, encapsulating the intelligence and business logic of payments in one place.

Record your money flows in database

Record real-time money movements on a programmable financial ledger built for scalable asset tracking.

Unlimited sub-ledgers

Scale horizontally with unlimited sub-ledgers. Choose your sharding strategy from one unique ledger to a ledger per user.

Ledger as a Foundation

The ledger is a low-level accounting tool, on which a lot of other services can be built. Wallets services, Reconciliation services and counting.

Stitch your payments services providers

A single API to weave in your processing rails.
Integrate your PSPs, from pay-in to pay-out.

Effortless Account Management

Easily manage user accounts on Payments, offering a bridge to payment providers for viewing transactions and simplifying payments.

Real-time Data Sync

Track and manage payments efficiently with Payments, featuring real-time status updates and detailed transaction history.

Closed-loop payments infrastructure

Tap into new revenue streams by embedding an internal
payment channel in your product.

Built on Ledger

Wallets is an additional layer and feature set build on top of the battle-tested Ledger product.

Eject-friendly

Should your needs grow beyond Wallets, you can eject to the Ledger service, enabling direct customization.

Reconcile funds under management

Automate reconciliation, swiftly address discrepancies, and gain confidence in your payment data.

Fund Flow Transparency

With Reconciliation, gain critical insights by acknowledging discrepancies in fund flows, enabling proactive resolution and financial integrity.

Financial Process Optimization

Ensure operational excellence by reconciling ledger balances with PSP account balances, enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of your financial operations.

Building money-flow made easy

Create financial workflows that can natively and seamlessly move value across ledgers, wallets and payments objects with a unified send statement.

Orchestrated, End-to-End

Start with an inbound payment. Wait a few days. Trigger a pay-out. Journalise the entry. All within the same workflow, reliably concretised by the Flows execution engine.

Automated Errors Management

Focus on expressing your flow of funds; Flows will be here to figure out a safe and efficient retry or rollback strategy in case of execution errors.

Connectors

Extensive Connectivity
